【授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか) / Outline and objectives】
With estimated 2.3 billion users, the global dominance of the English language is in no dispute. However, the language has developed a wide range of variations, depending on the social and cultural contexts where it was transplanted and the other languages it exists alongside. This seminar is concerned with the phonetic features of English(es) both in the Inner and Expanding Circles, while also shedding light on the speakers’ language attitudes and ideologies. We start the spring semester by reviewing Kachru’s (1985) three-circle model and Schneider’s (2007) ‘Dynamic Model’ of postcolonial English. Then we focus on New Zealand English (NZE), one of the youngest Inner Circle varieties, examining how it is distinguishable from UK, US and Australian English. The latter part of the semester is devoted to the features of L2-accented English and native-speakerism in the Expanding Circle.

【到達目標 / Goal】
By the end of the course, students will:
(1) understand the evolution and diversity of the English language,
(2) recognise the phonetic features of NZE and L2-accented English, and
(3) get used to analysing sound recordings for research purposes.
